Black Magic

Controversial mid-70's label run by Selectadisc of Nottingham in the UK, purveyors of top quality legal and illegal pressings throughout the 70's. Black Magic arrived at a time when the Northern Soul scene was just about to explode, and it broke into the charts via it's Sharonettes releases, which, although tailor-mades, were accepted by the scene in the same way that it accepted The Tomangoes and Morris Chestnut. Although responsible for issuing one or two goodies such as Jimmy Soul Clark and Dobie Gray, the majority of the labels' product were Simon Soussan produced no-hopers and by 1976, Black Magic had disappeared from whence it came.
